Gruf but Generous.
Christian Leader.

A prettier and more pathetic story
has seldom been told than one pub
lished in the "Daily Telegraph" A
hospital for sick children in the East
End of London should at least, one
would think, be as well fitted for it's
pul pose as "A stable at the West End.
Yet the work of which this story tells
was carried on in Il tumble down old
wharf warehouse" such place as the
readers of Dickens can easily picture
to themselves. 1t might have formed
part of the business premises of the
famous hir. Quilp; and, for certain,
none of the gay procession thrOnging
Hyde Park would have suffered one of
their sleek horses to abide ill it Il sin
gle night. But it had to do for the
sick children simply because there was
no money to build IL better place. And
then one day, up the rickety stairs,
holding on by the rope that served for
banister, came Il shabby gruff old
man, asking in tone that seemed to
threaten IN action for damages, if this
was children's hospital, and if they
did not want Il proper "hospital." The
secretary, with faint hopes of IL guinea,
answered these questions, and received
IA check for 81 900. They went over
the place and when this unexpected
angel of blessing had seen the children,
he came back, asked again for pen and
ink, and wrOte-a second thousand.
Then, with his coat buttOned, he was
about to go; but one story after anOth-
of healing and of child hcroism flow
ed from the secretary's lips, until, with
a grutf cha ~ the coat was thrown
back once more, the magic book pro-
duced, aud Il third thousand laid be-
side the others. ~ found my way up,
and l can find my way down. Good
day" The man of shabby coat and
gruff voice was gone, but the secretary
had the new building in his hand.

Flowers are Gods thoughts in bloom.
1t is the best business of every man

God has not lost his power, but the
pulpit has lost its voice.
More lies are told about money than
anything else in the world.
Can IL man be Il Christian if he votes

When man knows one thing we'll

You need not wait to ask a man to-
make profession, for you can tell him

know in the depths of my soul
there is something in this world better
than money.
know you denounce drunkenness,
but how few pulpits pull out their dag

Truth will not only take care of it

who breaches it.
Whisky is the worst enemy God or

devil ever had.

It is every preachers duty to de

When a man just lives for what he

he is not ten feet from the basement.
1t would be as impossible for me to
attempt to eXaggerate the glOrIes of

Prohibition as a Business Proposition.

There is an impression with many
that temperance is a text, which is mo-
nopolized by the "cranks," and doubt
less may have become hobby by
some but it is beginning to he dis
cussed like any other proposition, as
well as one of social science and pO-
litical economy 1t is a question for
fair deliberation, and their are indica
tons that it is assuming its proper
place as an issue subject to investiga-
ton, and will be determined and set
tied when public sentiment shall be
properly educated 10y statistics and the
law of cause and effect. There is now
on record railway accident, which is
being judiciOusly tried with view to
obtaining knowledge as to how much
loss of life and property may be due
to the drunkenness of the men In
charge of that train on the Baltimore
and Ohio road. One of the far reach
ing symptoms of drunkenness is that
the injury to the personal victims, who
may be gradually committing suicide
is only small fraction AS compared
with the misfortunes it entails upon
his family and the public. 1t is, there
fore, its relation to the public that
permits it to be considered as sub
ject for legislation, and prohibits it
from being regarded as one of personal
liberty only. Every case of habitual
intemperance, or even individual H.
toxication, may be classed as case of
imported cholera or yellow fever. In
the latter instance, the board of health
is authorized to submit the patient to
any sort of personal Inconvenience and
quarantine to- protect society at large.
Even in the instance of an infectious
disease which affect the lower animals,
similar legislation is found to be nee
essary, and pleuro- pneumonia is best
in that way. 1t should not,
then be subject to the narrow classifi
cation of personal vice, or misfor
tune, but rs Il public calamity.

A Lock of Woman's Hair.

American ladies in general have fine
hair. 1t grows abundantly, like other
vegetables, under these favoring skies.
But they do not take altogether good
care OF it. The hair needs a great deal
OF ventilation. 1t should be brushed
and separated by Wide-toothed comb
morning and evening. It should be
allowed to hang down untrammeled by
combs, pins OF strings when one is in
deshabille; but no married woman
should ever appear in company with
.dishevelled hair. A few years ago this
frantic mode prevailed among women
OF poor taste and limited reading. The
lowing hair is the mark of a virgin in
all pictorial art, and is so mentioned BY
Horace Walpole in his history of paint.

u.
device for making travel a luxury It con-
sisted of the,,new vestibuled train which the
ullman car company have just made for
the Pennsylvania railroad.
The cars were the most superbly finished
and furnished Of any in the world but the
great and novel feature was in having the
cars connected by vestibules as illustrated
III the engraving above SO that the passen-
ger can go the entire length of the train
without stepping into the open air.
The VeStlbuleS are formed by enclosing
the platforms Their structure is primarily
a broad, thick frame of steel extending from
platform to roof and supported by strong
elastic pressure derived from springs
When two cars are connected these frames
press tightly against each other, forcing
back the steel springs This gives close con-
tact throughout the entire surface Of the
frames sustained by high pressure In this
way great steadiness of movement is i'm
parted to the whole train.
The personal cOnveniences afforded by tho
Vestlbules are numerous. In the interior
they are carpeted and furnished. Sheets of
rubber, arranged in folds like those of an
ACCORDION, cover the points of contact and
by stretching while the train is rounding
curves make the entrance of wind and dust
impossible. Cut glass doors that are barred
While the train is in motion open cut on the
steps. The vestibules, therefore, serve as
Railways leading from one car to another
relieving the passenger from the annoyance
OF the OF the whirlwind of the open platform,
from dust in summer, from snow and in
tense cold in winter, and from storms in
all seasons.
